Hospital.

After Su Mei woke up, she went to Tang Yaoyao's ward.

Pei Jin came over after receiving Su Mei's call.

He practically sped to the hospital.

As soon as he stepped into the ward, he saw someone he never expected.

He was stunned; it was actually Fu Xiuchen.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and saw him coming. She didn't want Pei Jin to know about her background for the time being, because she always felt that although he was very obedient, he was also very mysterious.

Furthermore, she couldn't know everything about him, and Pei Jin had a very unique connection with her that had nothing to do with kinship, so she would always hold back.

Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips, a distant smile appearing in her eyes, and said lazily, "Mr. Fu, I'm fine. It's really kind of you to come all this way. I feel bad about it."

Fu Xiuchen: "..."

Is Yao Yao angry with him?

He had just entered the hospital and reached her bedside, but before he could even say a word, his concern was silenced by her feigned joking expression.

Su Mei also thought that Yao Ge was angry. After all, given the circumstances at the time, Fu Xiuchen went to Fu Mengyao's place but didn't bring her to the hospital.

She didn't realize what was happening until Pei Jin walked in.

Fu Xiuchen's usually aloof and elegant brows softened slightly as he parted his lips and said, "I..."

"Pei Jin, bring that stool over for Mr. Fu to sit on," Tang Yaoyao interrupted him and said to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin, unsuspecting, nodded gently and brought over a stool: "Mr. Fu, please sit down."

Fu Xiuchen was no longer surprised that Pei Jin was working as Tang Yaoyao's assistant. His fourth brother had mentioned it to him before, and he had politely replied, "Thank you."

Su Mei sat on the sofa, gently patting her heart.

She had one foot in the grave, but now she's back from the brink of death. And then, as soon as she arrived at Yao Ge's hospital room, she was bombarded with a dose of PDA.

This feeling is absolutely unbearable.

Why doesn't anyone care about her?

“Pei Jin…”

Pei Jin looked at her, his expression also unpleasant. He frowned slightly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Mei nodded: "I feel a tightness in my chest..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jin walked over to her and asked, "Aren't you still feeling the heat?"

Taking the opportunity, Su Mei pretended to be pitiful and bit her lip: "I don't know either... Please take me back to my ward first. Mr. Fu came to see Brother Yao, probably to discuss something. It's not very convenient for us to be here."

"good."

Pei Jin was an honest and steady boy. He helped Su Mei up, nodded respectfully to Fu Xiuchen, and then left.

After the two left, Tang Yaoyao pouted and said, "Brother, come sit here."

Fu Xiuchen initially felt like he had been banished to the cold palace by his sister, but now, as the sunlight streamed in, he revealed a faint smile, stood up, and sat down beside her.

When Tang Yaoyao heard Xiao Laosi say that her eldest brother had left with Fu Mengyao, she was actually disappointed, but not angry.

Because she always remembered one thing.

Never be presumptuous and think that you are someone's only one, that this person must revolve around you.

This is what people call self-awareness, because the higher the expectations, the harder the fall.

You can pursue it, but you can't use moral blackmail.

She is Fu Xiuchen's sister, but that doesn't mean she belongs to him. She must always stand in a position of self-respect and nobility for others to truly love her.

Moreover, when it comes to familial affection, she can't compare to the companionship between Fu Mengyao and her brother.

If my brother really abandoned Fu Mengyao for her sake, then he is a heartless person. If he would do such a thing, then he will abandon his wife for her sake in the future.

A heartless and ungrateful person doesn't deserve to be her brother.

Therefore, now is the best state to be in.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I..."

Tang Yaoyao interrupted him directly, her voice gentle: "Fourth Master Xiao told me everything, brother. You don't need to feel sorry. I knew about Yaoyao's existence a long time ago. I won't take you for myself. You are a person, not an object, right?"

Fu Xiuchen was somewhat stunned, seemingly not expecting these words to come from the mouth of Yao Yao, who was usually quirky, arrogant, and domineering.

“I heard from Su Mei that when she was in a very confused state, she heard someone calling me, but she didn’t dare to answer because the elevator was stuck in the stairwell. She thought it was something unclean. Now that I think about it, it must have been her coming to find me. How is she now?”

Tang Yaoyao's words were perfectly tactful, concealing her suspicions and dislike for Yaoyao, and explaining why she hadn't responded to Fu Mengyao's questions.

She clearly remembered that her brother had mentioned Fu Mengyao several times before this, and he genuinely hoped that she and this woman could get along peacefully.

She didn't want to make him sad, and even less did she want to put him in a difficult position.

Because she knew that her brother was the only person in the world who truly loved her.

Fu Xiuchen's heart softened at that moment. He raised his hand, rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "You and Yao Yao are only a year apart, but your personalities are worlds apart."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yaoyao knew that he must have been upset by Yaoyao, but he should be fine afterward.

"So, should Mom give her first, or me first?" Tang Yaoyao asked, as she had always wanted to know.

Fu Xiuchen withdrew his hand and replied seriously, "Yaoyao, you are the only daughter of the Fu family."

Tang Yaoyao was suddenly stunned: "What?"

Her eyes widened; she had never expected this.

But on second thought, it seemed quite normal, because when Fu Mengyao appeared in the hallway, she only felt an indescribable tension and sense of crisis, and did not feel the excitement of seeing her own sister.

This is completely illogical.

If they are sisters, even if there is no excitement, there will definitely be no dislike.

Fu Xiuchen gently parted his lips: "Yaoyao is not my mother's daughter. Only the Fu family knows this. The outside world is unaware."

Tang Yaoyao was puzzled: "Why keep it a secret?"

“We don’t know either. Mother never told anyone that Yao Yao was born on the same day of the same month of the same year as you, but at a different age. She just announced to the outside world that she was the daughter of our Fu family.”

"So she was adopted by her mother?"

Fu Xiuchen shook his head: "She is our cousin."

Tang Yaoyao was taken aback again: "A child born to my mother's sister?"

"Um."

Tang Yaoyao was somewhat confused. Subconsciously, she felt that there must be some big, unknown event behind this. After she was stolen, her mother brought back her sister's daughter to take her place as the real daughter and live on.

In retrospect, it seems that Fu Mengyao has taken her place in life.

But that's not entirely true, because she didn't know why her mother did it.

Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips slightly and asked again, "Does Fu Mengyao know that she is not the biological daughter of the Fu family?"
